Well that discussion talk is not an open discourse about the situation...

He quoted what he believed was scientific evidence in a private conversation that became public, has comments on fashism being efficient are clearly anti-facist and believed to observe a gender stereotype. No matter if the facts were true, it should be possible to discuss such things (especially those you think are facts) in private without getting canceled. Even if they would play in to the hand of racism or sexism if made as public statements.

I found his appology a bit weak, but I also don't see his offense, despite the messages in public being offensive and possibly harmful.
